I had a little portable black and white tv as a kid and used to do the exact same thing with the white dot, I also remember the huge amount of static that it produced lol |

I remember our first television set, I was a Bush, it had a 9" screen in a huge cabinet and to enhance it's viewing experiance we had a huge magnifying glass on adjustable legs, this was around 1950.
It was replaced with a 12" screen Pye set for the Coronation, still with the magnifying glass.
Happy days  |

I remember an old portable at my grandparents house. It was in the spare bedroom so was used by anyone who stayed over. It was a little b&w set and instead of buttons or a remote control it had a dial to tune it in to the channels (like a radio). |
